Retroverb Lancet - Filter

about

Here's a demo of the filter in the Retroverb Lancet. It's REALLY nice, and worth the price alone in my book.

In this demo you'll hear the LP, then BP, then HP.......with various different GAIN, DRIVE and BALLS settings. the modulation is mainly coming from a mix of the original sequence and an envelope from the Cwejman S1 - mixed together in CV Tools and fed into the Retroverb's CV input.

This filter is mainly on the Moogy side of things, leaning towards a slightly overdriven sound even when the DRIVE is at minimum. The initial section shows it at its least driven, and is about as clean as it'll get. Luckily the drive actually sounds really nice anyway, and comes in many different flavours, depending on the various GAIN, DRIVE and BALLS settings (see Overdrive/ Distortion Demo for a further taste of these).

Later on i introduce some FM from the internal LFO, and push the filter into self-oscillation. then i switch the LFO to LO/TR mode - where it is triggered by the incoming audio source - and you can clearly hear it doing a nice sample and hold in time with the incoming audio, so it's DEFINITELY retriggering just fine!

The knobs are a joy to tweak too, having just the right amount of resistance. just perfect

The resonance causes a dip in level when the input GAIN is set so that you get a really clean sound, but once the GAIN if turned up a little this dipping effect disappears. Many other filters behave in a similar way.

all modes of the filter sound excellent, and there is no bleed through it

highly recommended. it reminds me a little of the Pittsburgh filter, and that is no bad thing!

Timed Comments:

0.00 - Dry

0.35 - resonance increased
0.54 - More resonance again
1.11 - Much higher resonance
1.19 - CV input introduced
1.32 - Back to zero resonance
1.55 - Increased GAIN
2.52 - Bandpass, high GAIN and maybe some DRIVE
3.19 - No bleed!
4.08 - Highpass, with high GAIN
4.27 - Switched to lower GAIN for cleaner sound
5.35 - BALLS added (in Lowpass mode)
